A Runaway Locomotive.

A dispatch from Dayton, Ohio, Dec.
IL, says: Gan extraordinary case of a
runaway locomotive running through
this city from its northeastern corner.
to that of the southeastern occurred
to-day. The engine was No. 81, of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
road. She was i'll charge of Engineer
w. G. Stump and Fireman Frank Cur
rant. They were backing caboose
around curve just beyond the Mad
river, when the firemen observed a
freight train bearing down on them,
coming from the north.
Stump, perceiving the danger, re-
versed the lever of his engine and
tnrned on a full head of steam, in hope
of starting forward before the lOcOmo-
tive of the freight would strike the ca
bOose. However, he was too late, and
seeing that II collision was inevitable,
he and the fireman jamped to save
themselves. The next moment the
engine of the freight, which could not
possibly have been stopped, went
crashing into the caboose, wrecking it
badly and tearing the tender from en-
CINE No. 81. During the interval of
the engineer and fireman jumping and
the collision, the abandoned lOcomO-
tive commenced moving forward, and
in few minutes was rushing through
the city at the rate of from 50 to 60
miles an hour. Numerous streets, five
or six of them the leading thorough
fares of the city, were crossed with the
rapidity of lightning, and while no one
was struck by the wild engine, num-
Der of narrow escapes are reported. A
Fifth street car, loaded with passen-
gers, escaped by but few inches,
while pedestrians on foot escaped by
as narrow a margin and, never COM
pretended how close the call was until
afterward.
AT Main street the abandoned loco
motive jumped the track, and in her
wild fury switches were torn up and
the rails bent and broken. She ran on
the ties and road bed a distance of sew
eral hundred feet, when, in some I'M
accountable way, she jumped on to the
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In
dianapOlis tracks and went flying on
through the Union passenger depot
and on out over the Miami river and
out into the country. Three passen-
ger trains had just left the depot few
minutes before the wild engine.
The locomotive continued on her
wild course to near CarrOlltOn, about
10 miles south of here, when she ex-
hausted herself and was brought back
to Dayton. A train on the road to
this city from the south was telegram
ed to at Carrollton and side tracked,
aud thus collision was prevented.
1t is quite remarkable that no one was
injured and also that 10 collision Oc-
Cured in the IL or ID miles that the
engine covered, especially when it is
considered that fully two miles of the
run was through the CITY,"

Father GaIeote's Fate.

The supreme tribunal at Madrid, has
refused to commute the sentence OF
Father GaleOte, who was convicted OF
the murder of Mgr. Isquierdo and con-
demned to death.
Father GaleOte is the priest, who in
order to revenge himself for an order
of suspension inflicted upon him for
immoral conduct by the Bishop of
Madrid, shot the latter with revolver
at the doors of the Pro Cathedral on
Palm Sunday last. Before being exc
cuted by means of the garrottee on the
plain outside Madrid, Father Galeote
will be sOlemnly and publicly degrad-
ed from the priesthood. One by one
his ecclesiastical vestments will be re-
moved from him, and after his head
has been shaved to Obliterate all traces
of the tOnsure, his hands and the crown
of his head will be scraped with blades
of steel in order to erase all traces of
the sacred oil with which he was an
nOinted on entering the priesthood.
During these proceedings a dirge is
chanted by the "freres de misericorde, -
the cowls of whose monkish garments
are drawn down over their faces, leav-
ing only two little holes for the eyes.
On the conclusion Of the ceremony the
unfortunate man will be seated on a
chair with his back against an upright
post fixed into the scaffold.l A steel
collar, the ends of which are passed

COLLECTING A BILL.
From a Creditor Who Wanted a Liberal
Discount.

Not hundred miles from the Boo
and Shoe Recorder Office, says that pa
per, is located the establishment of q
popular boot and shoe jObber. He is
one of the best men in the trade, and
will treat any of his customers who are
in distress like a gentleman, provided
he believes them honest, but if a rogue
woe to him. A good story is told OF
these last named individuals, who
formerly operated Il shoe store in a
Massachusetts town.
One day Mr.. Jobber was seated in
his office, when the dealer entered and
asked how much he owed the firm
The book keeper gave the desired in
formation, when, turning to the pro-
prietOr, the dealer asked
elbow much discount will you give
me on this bill to settle it now?"
"What do you mean 2" was the re-
ply.
az mean just this. | have sold out
my store for clean, solid cash. | have
got the money in my pocket, and am
settling up my accounts. | want dis

jObber. sis this game of bluff, or
are you playing the rogue 2"
81 don't want any such insinua-
tions," replied the dealer. $50 and so
has given me $500 discount, and so
and SO $l60. What will you give ?"
"I'll tell you what I'll do" said Mr..
JObber, rising. Tf you will settle
that account right here l will take 100
cents on the dollar, but if you cross
that threshold | won't accept any set
Element short of interest and expenses.
| mean what | say"
Here the dealer must have felt faint,
for he sat down in a chair.
81 am now going to dinner, and you
can sit here and wait until | return"
said the jObber, us he put on his hat
and coat and departed.
Once in the street he went for his
lawyer, and after short consultation
was told that he could do nothing be-
You'd suit, and that if the party offer
ed any reasonable figures, to take the
money and settle the case. The job
Der returned, but determined to get
the whole amount if possible. On en-
tering his store there sat the dealer as
he had left him. Going up TO him he
said:
"My friend, you evidently think
have been to dinner, not so. | now
ask you to pay me my account in full.
If you do you can leave here unmOlest-
ed. l will see you to the sidewalk. If
not, you won't pass many feet alone
after you go down these stairs"
The dealer grew white in the face.
He sat for moment in thought, then,
getting up, he put his hand in his
pocket, took out roll of bills, and
paid the bill in full. The jObber pass
ed out with him to the sidewalk.
Standing up against the door was a
policeman, who accidentally passed at
that time. The dealer gave him one
glance and rapidly passed out of sight.
The jObber returned to his store, and
i'll the silence of the packing room, he
punched his ribs and laughed merrily.

Thought it the Regular Thing.

When Clark Mills was casting his
statue of Gen. Jackson on balancing
horse, now in Lafayette square, Ed
win Forrest, then playing an engage
ment at Washington, asked permission
to witness the casting of large part
of it. On the day appointed for cast
ing the statue, Mills notified Forrest,
who, with other gentlemen and ladies,
assembled within the enclosure. The
party gathered around the pit, while
Forrest placed himself on a plank laid
directly across the pit. At a given sig
nal Mills removed the plugs from the
furnace, and the molten bronze began
to pour out from the furnace into the
mould below. Unfortunately some
water had got into the mould and a
terrible explosion took place /; the earth

Some Important Truths Plainly Stated.

A contemporary who has happy faculty OF
uniting things talks to his readers in the following
way. 1t will apply as well to the readers of the
Caledonian: I'VE are more and more convinced
that the only right and satisfactory basis on which
to conduct a newspaper business is that of advance
payments 1t is not alone the right and desirable
system for the publishers, but it is equally so for
the subscribers. Subscribers do not pay their
bills easier OF more cheerfuly when they have &C
cumulated for two three yeaps. The publishers
must pay their bills of each years earnings and
receipts, and for this reason the really desirable
and profitable subscribers to have are those who
pay their yearly subscriptions once year and as
soon as practicable after the year begins"

The Discovery of Anthracite.
Scientific american.

Anthracite was discovered in Penn
sylvania in 1890 by Nicholas Allen.
This Allen according to the stories
and traditions that have been handed
down about him, must have been a
kind of Rip Van Wrinkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region, and opened an inn on
the summit of Broad mountain. For a
time he led a wandering existence,
hunting, fishing and numbering, while
his wife attended to the wants of
thirsty travellers. In one of his hunt
ing excursions he camped ont at the
foot of the Broad mountain, at a spot
where a coal vein cropped out, and up
on lighting a fire, was astOnished at
the immense heat it threw off. He
also saw that some of the black stone
had become red-hOt. He dug some of
it and carried it home, when his wife
more practical than himself, prOnOunc
ed it coal. They saw the coal crop
out in abundance and visions of for
tunes that might be realized out Of it
simultaneously. So, dispOsing of their
effects, they loaded two large covered
wagons with the coal, and set out for
Philadelphia with the intention of
marketing it there and discovering its
true value. They drove along the
banks of the Schuylkill, sleeping in
the open air at night. At POttstown
three of their horses died and the coal
was dumped into the river. Wearied
and disheartened, the pair returned to
the old place at the summit of the
mountain, and shortly afterward AL
len laid his faithful wife to rest over
the coal vein that proved their ruin
and turned his face toward the west,
where, after an uneventful career, he
enlisted for the campaign under Har
rison and fell at TippecanOe.

has been drawn down over his face the
executioner gives turn to the wind

tighten, and at the same time forces

then left during the whole day expos

An Ideal Country Newspaper.
North field Herald

The st. JOhnsbury CaledOnian has
been published for half a century. We
do not always relish its editorial teach
ings, but every week its columns are
bright and full of news, it is handsome
ly printed and the business men of the
town so fully appreciate its advertis-
ing columns that there is no space for
foreign advertising. Not many pub
fishers would look farther than the
CaledOnian for an ideal country news
paper.
